Here it is, my first journal, celebrating my first year.



I was born on April 8 2011 and spent my earliest months with two sets of “pet parents”, both living on Long Island New York. Then I got lucky and was adopted by Marianne and Tom and moved to California.



Now my life includes playtime on the beach at Pajaro Dunes, long walks in the Marin Headlands, runs with Tom and frolicking on the grass at Twin Palms in Palm Springs. They take me in the car almost everywhere they go and I even flew in an airplane to New York City.



I am learning how to be a good boy and train with Jane Zabielskis whom I love a lot. She “gets” me.



Tom and Marianne are educating me on so many new things including having fun with the camera. They make pictures of me for holidays and special occasions and just for fun. I think this is something I will be doing a lot.



For those who leaf through these pages, enjoy!
